2019 Workshop Talk | 01:05:36 | K-6, Teacher & Classroom
Summary
“How can I prepare my toddler in the next few years for a classical, Christian education?” After addressing this question dozens of times to concerned prospective parents, this classical Christian education administrator set about a two-year, deep dive into the world of brain research, school readiness research, and best enrollment practices across ACCS schools in an effort to discover what the real needs are for three-to five-year-olds and how to best serve their parents and teachers as they prepare children for 13 years of classical Christian education.
